Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn – Please join BIM designers for a day of cool and unusual craft projects June 29th 11-4 at Brooklyn Indie Market (www.brooklynindiemarket.com), corner of Smith and Union Street, just next to the Carroll Street station F train stop and Carroll Park.
FREE to enter, workshops $3 each
Brooklyn Indie Market, a weekend market of emerging fashion and product designers, has put together a variety of novel and surprising kids crafts workshops. You won’t find old school glued popsicle-sticks, tiled ashtrays and gimp bracelets of yore (not that we do not hold these rec center relics dear to our hearts-we do!)
But times have changed and so has the concept of “craft” – we can’t wait to share our skills and love of craft with the next generation!
Our Workshop lineup includes:
• Replaygrounds’ Bottle Conversion Project, turning old soda bottles into candy dishes, soap dishes, vases, photo cuffs and more www.replayground.com
• Beacon Bookmarks, wife and husband team using discarded wood from their cabinetry business to customize your own wooden bookmarks using a variety of rubber stamps and markers www.beaconbookmarks.com
• Wonderthreads’ and fofolle, Stuffed Monster Making Workshop, an upcycle project utilizing left over fabric and scraps from their design businesses www.wonderthreads.com and www.fofolle.com
(Designer wares will also be available to purchase)
